Abstract

Background: Diabetes is one of the most common and costliest chronic diseases whose treatment and control widely depends on patients’ sense of self-efficacy in self-management and adherence to self-care behaviors. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of peer support on self-efficacy of patients with type II diabetes.Methods: In this clinical trial, 80 patients with type II diabetes were selected and allocated to the intervention and control groups (n = 40 each) using proportionate stratification. After creating a group of peers, the peers held 10 supportive training sessions for the intervention group over three months. A questionnaire was administered to measure peers’ knowledge before and after the training. Patients’ self-efficacy was assessed using the diabetes management self-efficacy scale (DMSES) before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed in SPSS/18.Result: There was no significant difference between self-efficacy scores of the two groups before the intervention (P = 0.1). However, the two groups had a significant difference in self-efficacy scores after the intervention (P < 0.001). Moreover, a significant difference was observed between the intervention groups’ scores of self-efficacy before and after the intervention (P < 0.001). Such a significant difference was not detected in the control group (P = 0.09).Conclusion: The PEER GROUP support program improved self-efficacy in patients with diabetes. This supportive training method is hence recommended as an efficient and cost-effective supplement to the routine diabetes care provided by healthcare personnel.
